Those who are criminally charged need an aggressive defender to protect
them and restore their quality of life. Cleveland Criminal Attorney Ian
N. Friedman and our entire team resolutely defends our clients against
their accusers in municipal, state, and federal courts. Throughout our
years of practice, our reputation has been established as one of excellence
and diligence because of our repeated success.

Our criminal law firm was founded to bridge the gap between large firms
and solo practitioners. We deliver the personalized representation of
a solo practitioner coupled with the vast resources of a large firm. If
you have been charged with a crime, the prosecution has an extensive team
of investigators including the police force that is dedicated to building
a comprehensive, thorough case against you. You need a team on your side to
even the playing field. Our team of professionals has the resources, manpower and all necessary
means to provide you comprehensive diligence in representation.

We are an Ohio firm making a global impact. Having represented individuals
and corporate establishments all over the country and as far as Europe
and Asia, our firm has a legacy of success that reaffirms our ability
to effectively defend clients. Our experience and knowledge retained over
years of success as criminal lawyers gives our firm confidence in approaching
cases of all sizes. Each case taken on is handled with the same amount

Distinguished: First Ever "Lawyer of the Year"

Claims of success as a firm can only be demonstrated by results—and
the attorneys at our firm have earned recognition as an effect of hard-fought
life and death cases. Each of our criminal defense lawyers has been recognized
for their excellence in both academic and legal communities.

Our lawyers have their own individual accolades to reaffirm their ability
in criminal law. This includes being the
first attorney ever recognized as the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense
Lawyers' Lawyer of the Year in 2011, as well as repeated recognition as
Ohio Super Lawyers®
and Ohio Super Lawyers Rising Stars℠.

Attorney Friedman has also been given the
President's Award from the OACDL on five separate occasions, has received the Cleveland State University's Distinguished Law Alumni
Award in 2011, and the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association's William
K. Thomas Professionalism Award in 2010. He was also selected for inclusion in the
Ohio Super Lawyers® list for seven years.

As a result of prestigious courtroom battles, Attorney Friedman was invited
at the early age of forty to join the fellowship of the
American Board of Criminal Lawyers, a prestigious, invite-only organization with only a half dozen members
in the State of Ohio and only two hundred members nationwide.

Emphasizing their abilities and determination, all of our attorneys have
been individually included in these prominent organizations and recognized
for their merit in the work they do. As a team made up of legal professionals
recognized and honored nationwide, the firm is a collaboration of some
of the most dynamic criminal attorneys in the state of Ohio, nationwide,
and in the nations abroad.

Raising the Bar with Creativity & Collaboration

The legal field of criminal prosecution is one founded upon concrete principles
and time-tested strategies. For this reason, an effective means of defending
against such prosecution is to use creative thinking and unique resources.
Ian N. Friedman and our team are trained to "think outside of the
box" in all cases. This approach has resulted in
repeated acquittals, dismissals, and reversals . This is the result of years of practicing criminal defense for some
of the most complex criminal matter.

In such serious criminal matters, a defendant has limited hope of success
unless their legal representative has developed skills that take them
above and beyond other criminal lawyers. Our Cleveland criminal defense
lawyers stand apart from those at other firms. With a combination of dedication,
determination, creativity, and collaboration, our firm has been recognized
as an exemplary source of legal service for those in need of criminal
defense. People routinely bring ther case to us when their case is too
complex or unpopular.
There is no case too big or small for our legal team. Many have even turned to us for representation in civil matters due to
our extensive trial experience. If we are unable to provide representation
in a particular civil case, we can offer a reference for other capable
attorneys.

Our firm's boldness has solidified our reputation as a premier source
of knowledge and experience. We have been repeatedly sought out for such
knowledge—speaking nationwide, providing commentary on important
legal issues, serving as legal professors, mentoring other lawyers, authoring
books on criminal law, and being published in numerous resources. When
a firm is sought out by other lawyers and judges consistently, it is an
indication that its attorneys are some of the best in the field. Our firm
is chosen time and time again by others in the legal profession due to
our ethics and effective manner. We, however, are never satisfied with
anything less than perfect, and constantly work to heighten the standards
of criminal defense through the cases we handle and resources we put out.
We appreciate the people throughout the State of Ohio and nationally who
have turned to our team in times of dire need.

If you are looking for criminal defense attorneys with proven skills that
can produce results, look no further than our firm.
